If you use your M & S card to buy currency, you get the usual interest free period you would get with purchases, which is a massive bonus. Rates are really favourable and delivery service is excellent - next day recorded delivery, if ordered before 1.00 pm - and is free if you order over £500 worth of currency. I have been using them for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. I agree that Marks and Spencer are good.

The rate is always better than any rate given in the UK. I cannot understand why this is not more widely promoted??
